With the Departure of Matheus Cunha, Agustín Rossi’s Immediate Backup is the Young Dyogo Alves


Among the positions on the field that Flamengo intends to strengthen for next year is the goalkeeper. Thus, rumors have emerged about interest in Gabriel Brazão from Santos. However, the president of the club, Marcelo Teixeira, has other plans for the goalkeeper.

We are confident, the contracts are well protected, and we intend to keep these players. Of course, we live in a professional market, where we have to respect the player’s wishes — said Teixeira, adding that:

But Brazão has already expressed that he is very happy at Santos and has no desire to leave. The environment is spectacular — highlighted the president of the Baixada Santista team to ESPN this Friday (19).

And What About Bayern Munich’s (GER) Interest in Brazão?

Despite the rumors, Teixeira did not mention the German club in the interview, which suggests they were just rumors. In any case, however, the goalkeeper is under contract with Santos until the end of 2028.

Does Flamengo Really Need a Goalkeeper?

The Argentine Agustín Rossi is the undisputed starter. However, the Rubro-Negro wants a backup of equal caliber. In 2025, the spot belonged to Matheus Cunha, who did not have his contract renewed and, therefore, signed with Cruzeiro for next year.

So, Does Rossi Have No Backup?

With the departure of Matheus Cunha, the immediate backup for the starter is the young Dyogo Alves, who previously held the position of third goalkeeper. Additionally, Léo Nannetti has already been among the professionals on some occasions.

What Was Matheus Cunha’s Last Game for Flamengo?

The athlete’s last match for the Most Beloved took place on May 21, 2025. On that occasion, Mengão beat Botafogo-PB in the Copa do Brasil by 4 to 2 and qualified for the round of 16 of the knockout stage.
